Installed Ubuntu Linux 17.04 on a Winbook TW800. Unplug the ribbin cable from the display to use it as a server but I can plug in the HDMI to get a desktop on it. Used the „install_max2play.sh“ and it worked good.

on the desktop and command line I can play music though it’s built in stereo little speakers. On the command line I can use „mpg123“ then the name of the mp3 file. It plays good.

I reloaded this fresh and then installed Max2play. I can play on the monitor thought the HDMI or the built in little speakers on this Wintable tw801. Can even play though the headphone all on the desktop of it.

But can’t get Max2play to play.

This time I got it to list all the sound devices. by putting a link to /usr/bin/squeezelite at /opt/squeezelite if I don’t the Select Audio output stays blank.

But if I don’t have that Max2play for setting Soundcard Select Audio output is blank just like this space in this text. As seen as I put that link it the Soundcard has a list to pick what card but it seems like none don’t work. I get this error.

When I installed the script I made a user „odroid“ because I thought it be closer to this TW801.

Then I seen the file at /etc/init.d/squeezelite and seen a line that said „USER=odroid“ So then in webmin I said under Password „No password required“ and all so added „In groups“ root and www-data Then started Squeezelite in Max2play and it said Status: Squeezelite is running with processID 9813

It’s playing music now though the USB speakers!

Not sure what part got it working but it’s working.

I guess that was it the user did not have permissions to start Squeezelite.

Got it working again. Because I made a Odroid user in Webmin it did not work on the desktop after it crashed. Then when I try to log in on the desktop it was just blank. So I rebooted and log in as me and deleted Odroid user and then added that same user on the desktop. But it still did not work on Max2play. Then I did this to start Squeezelite, and between this I copied the /tmp/squeezlite.txt from another Max2play that works. It was 1 size but the one I copied was 0 size. Then Squeezelite started. Here is the command line doing that.

Wow got Javalite working on it. I had to turn off the built in LCD display that I removed the ribbon cable from long ago. So wow I guess if I did not use this at time could get a WinBook TW801 and install this and Max2play would be a portable tablet with screen and sound!

Got this screenshot of it on the HDMI screen because this table has a HDMI out on it.

It’s working real good. Been playing a big playlist I named My MP3 CD I play in my car driving a long way like 20 years ago now. so copied it to my Logitech Media Server.

Wow neat. I just started Kodi / XBMC and can play videos on the HDMI screen as Max2Play is playing on the USB speakers Kodi plays a video and sound thought the LCD monitor the HDMI.

They both play very good at the same time!

It’s hard to get this TW801. The TW801 has 2 times the ram 2MB not 1MB like the tw800. I seen they are out of them they were selling for just like $25 or so real cheep. I guess that’s why don’t have them any more.
